The list is nowhere near complete. Probably others like Panic!, Arctic Monkeys and Vampire Weekend fall here too, but I haven't really listened to enough of their stuff to say.

Radiohead and Muse both know how to go hard, and do it well, but they also have plenty of material that puts them in the category and I tend to believe that Radiohead is the band that created the category in the 90's.

Some of the bands cross over with other sounds, but I think they all work in that category.
Radiohead is in a category all its own. They can do brit pop, whiny or otherwise, but they are a whole lot more than that.

And Silversun Pickups? Really?

Hm. Okay. I don't know all of these bands, and some of them I actively dislike (e.g., Coldplay) but I think I know where you are going, and I like the Radiohead and the Shins. Although I guess I see more of a whiny commonality than a british one. And a number of other British bands that might be on the fringe of this group (Stone Roses, Blur, Pulp, Supergrass, etc.)

The idea of a "current band" is complicated with so many in the genre on hiatus or pursuing temporary projects, so I would add Pulp, Blur, The Verve and Supergrass as being the core of the genre, along with Radiohead. Oh, and Oasis, of course.

I am more annoyed by The Decemberists' pretentiousness than their britpopocity.

And I like them.

I completely forgot about The Verve, although I wouldn't have listed them anyway as I wouldn't claim to like them.

ETA: This topic has reminded me that I have heard very little Radiohead in the last few days of listening to the ipod on shuffle, a problem that has now been corrected.

If we're talking broadly "britpop," I agree, except to again note that Radiohead is much more than that. The original description was "whiny britpop," though, and I wouldn't call those bands whiny. Snotty, maybe.

And I've got nothing against a proper pop song, Brit or otherwise. But American singers who do it with that sad, faux-euro voice bug the shit out of me.

I think Ollie is more bothered by the 80s revival-type bands such as Interpol and The Rapture, which were more heavily influnced by Joy Division, the Smiths, and those other pre-goth bands. Which do suck, by the way. No offense, unless you are going to insist on getting offended by my saying that your favorite genre of music sucks, in which case, what can I do? I suspect you already knew that, however, and continue to not care, so Ollie and I can go to hell. Arctic Monkeys have a different vibe -- a little harder. Less likely to make on want to wear black eyeliner. Vampire Weekend actually has more of an indie/afro-pop influence to them. I like them. Panic! is more like those earlier bands. Don't like them. Yuk. Gross. Anyway, you don't need us or our stupid opinions. You've got soul but you're not a soldier.

This has been rather a long winter, and it seems as though it's just getting longer. (I suppose the definitive answer to whether it is or not will be determined next week -- and a most especially Happy Birthday to anyone whose birthday happens to fall on Groundhog Day.)

Which is a lovely segway-way into my query. I need to buy some movies that are good, but that are appropriate for kids and their parents. You know, crowd pleasers. So far, my list is woefully short, as it includes only Groundhog Day and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

I'm not old school enough to know the origin of the "Friday fights," but it has always struck me as stupid. As flower pointed out, we should try not to fight less, but if we need to fight why have the day stop us, or more accurately, why let Friday generate a fight? So in theory I'm against the practice.

But what i realize happens in practice, is that when some hare-brained sock does a "Happy Friday" post, then I want to attack them, which in a very circular way, makes me part of the problem.

Yeah, I don't really care if you think the genre sucks. I just think it is stupid to go on an internet chat board and complain about a band not being rock and roll enough if that is not their thing. Would changing the delivery of the vocals change your opinion of the band? No.

The delivery on that blasted Icky Thump song makes me want to find Jack White and rip his eyelashes out one by one, but I'm not sure that I would like the song even if he belted it out a la Neil Diamond. It really just isn't my thing.

I think dtb has 7 if we count adoptions, but I assumed she meant movies for another family. If she meant for her family, I think Christmas Story or Do the Right Thing, so her kids can see that some people are not incredibly wealthy.

And why I would buy rather than rent? Because there are no video rental places anywhere near me, and the library has a pretty lame selection.
